This FM 2014 Player Profile of Erik Lamela shows one of the worlds top talents, used to deadly effect as inside forward with his dribbling and fast feet. During my test save Lamela developed outstanding attributes across the board. To name a few he had 19 in dribbling and 20 in flair, other high stats were achieved in long shots, technique and creativity. To be honest, he’s a complete all rounder, a rare gem that can take on his man and then finish whether its from close range or the edge of the area.

I think this wonderkids career history speaks for itself as he guided Tottenham to consecutive titles scoring 10 or more goals every season bar one and adding plenty of assists. The nearest thing to Messi this year? Could well be…just a major shame Tottenham already grabbed him, that makes the asking price a ludicrous £140 million at least and Lamela very difficult to sign. But, when a player like Lamela signs for a club like Spurs at the games start, we can simply right them off for a season. Besides, he can be available for less than £30 million after a few seasons so hold tight and keep your eyes peeled.

Any particular reason you wrote Spurs with an apostrophe? As a Spurs (see, no apostrophe;) fan I am very happy he is on board, and looking forward to him showing Triggerhappy Andros over to the left wing and Sluggy Siggy out of the team ;)

I don’t really like these questions, there is no right answer as it will vary in every single game on tonnes of different scenarios. Hence my answer, which I’ve already given you, looking at the layers on their own, I wouldn’t prefer one over the other.

I obtained Lamela for 38.5m from Tottenham in the 3rd season for my Liverpool side. I think he’s taking some time to settle. I wish his production would match up with Insigne. But I believe in time he will obtain really good results down the road. At the age of 25 Lamela’s stats look amazing and he is already valued at 53 million!! Just to give you an idea how good that is, at this point in time Lionel Messi is ‘only’ valued at 40.5m and Neymar is valued at 55m! Here’s the screenshot:
